Oaf, a wuvable Bay Area bear, searches for love in the local metal and wrestling scenes in Blood and Metal, which collects a number of short stories. Featuring tales of Oaf ’s formative childhood years, and much more!

Autor přesvědčivě zachycuje dynamiku současné krize liberální demokracie a ukazuje, jak hegemonie Západu postupně oslabuje. Do jaké míry doopravdy souvisel ekonomický a geopolitický vzestup západní civilizace s myšlenkami na rozvoj individuální svobody a rovnoprávnou účast občanů na politické moci? Příliš dlouho panuje nepodložené přesvědčení, že vzestup Západu se odehrál na základě všeobecně uznávaných hodnot, které proklamuje a šíří, a že většina obyvatel Západu je samozřejmě chápe a sdílí. A že vítězné tažení demokracie a svobody už nemůže nic ohrozit. Edward Luce svým textem dokládá, že realita nám ukazuje něco docela jiného.
